EN 4857 ’Twas on That Night When Doomed to Know

1Cor.11.23

Versi Version 1

1

’Twas on that night, when doomed to know

The eager rage of every foe,

That night in which He was betrayed,

The Savior of the world took bread.

2

And after thanks and glory giv’n

To Him that rules in earth and Heav’n,

That symbol of His flesh He broke,

And thus to all his foll’wers spoke:

3

“My broken body thus I give

For you, for all. Take, eat, and live.

And oft the sacred rite renew

That brings My saving love to view.”

4

Then in His hands the cup He raised,

And God anew He thanked and praised,

While kindness in His bosom glowed,

And from His lips salvation flowed.

5

“My blood I thus pour forth,” He cries,

“To cleanse the soul in sin that lies;

In this the covenant is sealed,

And heaven’s eternal grace revealed.

6

“With love to man this cup is fraught;

Let all partake the sacred draught;

Through latest ages let it pour,

In memory of My dying hour.”
